Rueben's Ramblings

Covert Affairs

New Yorkers will be the witnesses of live performance art as groups of identically dressed female “operatives” march in unison into the city for a secret mission to promote the new original USA Network series Covert Affairs.

The Covert Operatives are an assembly of identically dressed spies disguised in matching white trench coats, red fedoras and red stilettos, the colors of Covert Affairs. They move in unison with precision and purpose, beautiful and mysterious, appearing in parks, along avenues, on street benches, bridges and corners, demanding the attention of on-lookers, all without saying a word. They have been directed to deliver an important message and nothing will get in their way.

On the morning of Monday July 12, New Yorkers will witness the Covert Operatives march over the Brooklyn Bridge and then disseminate throughout the city, hitting various iconic NY locales to deliver an important message, while maintaining absolute silence. What message do they want to share?

These women are a part of USA’s celebration and promotion of the network’s newest original series, Covert Affairs, which premieres on Tuesday, July 13 at 10. They will be sharing secrets with the public on how to take on their own covert missions. Armed with information, the ladies will spread the word about the series debut, the Covert Affairs Spy the World Sweepstakes, in which participants have the opportunity to win an unforgettable 22-day all-expenses-paid journey across six continents, and how to track Covert Affairs online.

Covert Affairs stars Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly) as Annie Walker, a young CIA trainee thrust into the inner sanctum of the agency when she is unexpectedly promoted to field operative. The show also stars Christopher Gorham (Ugly Betty), Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes), Kari Matchett (Invasion), Anne Dudek (House) and Peter Gallagher (The O.C.). The show is executive-produced by Matt Corman, Chris Ord, James Parriott and the executive producers of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, David Bartis and Doug Liman, who also produced The “Bourne” Trilogy.

On Tuesday, July 13, the Covert Operatives will expand their mission to include Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.
